We had an amazing day at SeaWorld San Diego! It is a beautiful park with so many attractions and activities that you can easily spend the whole day here. Everything was clean, well organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our favorite experience was the Orca Encounter. It was absolutely breathtaking and the highlight of our visit. Seeing the orcas up close was something we will never forget. Thank you for giving our family such wonderful memories. We highly recommend SeaWorld San Diego to anyone visiting California!
We had a good trip. It's a bit of a maze, but a good one! We did not hit the arcade but the outside "fair style" games are expensive, $10 for one play. A few of the rides cost extra, $6 per person. Half the rides were off when we went, luckily we had the 2 day passes, so the closed rides were reopened when we went back. Definitely need more than 1 day to get everything in without rushing. Few interactions with employees, but the few were amazing and happy to help. I will say they need to be a bit better at letting people know bag rul3s. They let people on with fanny packs, same ride car as me an everything, but I had to leave the ride, walk all the way out and around the place just to put my tiny bag in a $5 locker, for 1 ride. They had cubbies at the rides to use but I wasn't allowed. That just seemed wild to me. All bags or none? Shouldn't be picking and choosing. (Locker is $5 for 2 hrs) Also want to mention that, if you go, please make sure your kids aren't destroying the place! Shark encounters was actively being destroyed by little hands.
Had a great time at SeaWorld San Diego! Loved seeing the sea lions, sharks, and especially the orcas! They are definitely the highlight of our visit. There are also lots of fun rides, including some exciting roller coasters. Great mix of marine life and amusement park fun. Definitely worth a visit!
Me and my friend went. It was so fun and especially the rides are great. If you like roller coasters and animals, this place is definitely for you. I would say the more expensive parking is better because you are closer to the entrance. The area is nice and always has good weather. It does get VERY packed on the weekends, so I would recommend going on a week day. The ride wait times are usually ~50 to ~80 minutes on a busy day. Also, on the app NEVER trust the wait times. Is always say that the ride wait times are super short, so then you walk all the way over to the ride to see that is has an 80 minute wait. Overall a great park if you are looking for a nice day in San Diego. Also the roller coaster Emperor has the best view of the Mission Bay and San Diego. It is definitely a little run down and shows its age in some areas but is still fun.
It's a great park. Our whole family has been coming here for three years now, and we invite our friends too. The pirate show is great in the summer, although the scenario is the same for the second year in a row. I'd like to see something different next summer and add some variety. Santa Claus is also present in his beautiful New Year's house in winter, and the New Year's parade is also the same every year, so add some variety. The bike show is also the same. Overall, the park is very comfortable and convenient for all ages. Pass members get free guest tickets for their friends, as well as benefits such as a $10 gift every month, free animal feeding, and much more. During Halloween month, they give out free candy to all children on weekends on Saturdays and Sundays. Parking is free for pass members; one-time guests pay about $40 for regular parking. Get an annual pass for the weekend. There are also discos for small children.
Good experience and the Orca and dolphin shows are great. Everything was neat and clean. The skyride was a $6 ticket but it's not required actually. They are asking for donation so you can skip too. It is a short ride and nothing nice or great.
I had an such fun here today! From the different showings to the roller coasters and other rides, it's very enjoyable! You get to see many different sea animals up close, you can touch some of them, you can see them do tricks, and more! Overall, I am very happy I came here! Its worth nothing that this place gives a bit of a taste to a couple different things seen at theme parks and is very accommodating to children!
